This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Artist: Helmet

Album: Betty

Tabbed By: Simon Robson

The tuning here is (low to high) C#,G#,C#,F#,A#,D#

I'll just write the notes standard right here.

Key:

+ = bend 1/4

> = accent ( hit harder than usual )

E-------------------0-0---0--0-0---|
B-------------------5-5---5--5-5---|
G-------------------4-4---4--4-4---|
D-0----------2------2-2---2--2-2-0-|
A-0----------2-------------------0-|
D-0----------2-------------------0-|

Do that a few times, then

Part A

D-2/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-12-12-0-0-0-0-|

hit the 2nd fret a few times, then

heavily palm-muted |___play over & over_____|

during the solo, play the first part a couple of times, then Part A,

then:

D-0----0-2--2-2-2-2-2/10-10-10-X-X-0-1--2-|
A-0----0-2--2-2-2-2-2/10-10-10-X-X-0-1--2-|
D-0----0-2--2-2-2-2-2/10-10-10-X-X-0-1--2-|

over and over again
